Pooja Bedi took netizens by surprise as she announced on social media that she has tested positive for COVID-19, and chose to remain unvaccinated. In an exclusive conversation with mid-day.com, Pooja tells us all about her decision and path to recovery.

Why did you choose not to get vaccinated? What were your thoughts behind this decision?
I'm not anti-vaccine. I've taken and also given my kids every tested vaccine from MMR, BCG, Tetanus to HPV etc. The fastest vaccine took seven years to develop. This is too new. There are still some question marks about this COVID vaccine, and then the need for two and now three vaccines. It seems a bottomless cycle of vaccines I don't wish to enter. I don't wish to inject a trial vaccine into my body. 99% of those who were infected, survived prior to vaccine. Statistics remain pretty much similar post vaccination drive. My company Happy Soul is a health and wellness enterprise. I believe in working on my natural immunity through fresh air, fresh food, kadha, exercise and positive thoughts. I'm a huge proponent of homeopathy and Ayurveda as well.
